Deuteronomy 3:6-8
Contemporary English Version
3-6 The Lord our God helped us destroy Og and his army and conquer his entire kingdom of Bashan, including the Argob region. His kingdom had lots of villages and 60 towns with high walls and gates that locked with bars. We completely destroyed[a] them all, killing everyone, 7 but keeping the livestock and everything else of value.
8 Sihon and Og had ruled Amorite kingdoms east of the Jordan River. Their land stretched from the Arnon River gorge in the south to Mount Hermon in the north, and we captured it all.

- 3.3-6 completely destroyed: The Hebrew word means that the town was given completely to the Lord, and since it could not be used for normal purposes any more, it had to be destroyed. Every person was killed and sometimes all the animals as well.
Deuteronomy 3:6-8
New International Version
6 We completely destroyed[a] them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying[b](A) every city—men, women and children. 7 But all the livestock(B) and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves.
8 So at that time we took from these two kings of the Amorites(C) the territory east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge as far as Mount Hermon.(D)
